HearthSong Connectagons Review and Giveaway

Featured Sponsor

Since its beginning in 1983, HearthSong has been committed to helping parents follow their instincts to provide their children with age-appropriate, wholesome, quality playthings.

The first HearthSong catalog was printed in black and white, with pencil drawings of carefully selected toys and books and mailed from the home of founder Barbara Kane by her family. The name HearthSong was chosen to reflect core family values - the Hearth, a traditional symbol for the center of the home, and Song, a symbol of family spirit and of a special playfulness that parents and children enjoy together.

Over the next 25 years, HearthSong evolved into a nationally known and respected source for quality children's toys, games and crafts. Parents who found unique toys for their children decades ago tell us they're now thrilled to be finding the same kinds of educational, entertaining toys to give to their children's children.

************************************************************

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review some wonderful products from HearthSong this holiday season. My kids received the Connectagons® Special which includes the Connectagons Set as well as the Connectagons Geometry Set.

The Connectagons Set includes 240 wooden circles multiplied by 8 slots each multiplied by 5 bright colors and countless patterns of circles, stripes, dots, and diamonds. This creative building set offers limitless opportunity for fun and challenge.

You and your child's imagination is your only limit. Any construction can go in any direction - taller, wider, rounder, more square - and suddenly numbers become unimportant as imagination reigns!

The Connectagons Geometry Set contains 240 solid color and varying geometric shapes. The options for creative construction are "plane" to see, especially since they're designed to connect with and color-complement Connectagons.

ace and friends thoughts: I have to admit, the Connectagons were an absolute hit with all three of my kids (ages 7, 6 and 3). hurray. each child created their own unique construction.

After making their own personal works of art, *ace* worked together to create their village of colors. Pretty, right?

The colors are so vibrant and the quality is certainly worth noting. They are not made of some flimsy pieces of wood, they are constructed very well and will definitely maintain it's quality for the years to come. i absolutely love it! The only issue I had with the Connectagons was the fact that it didn't come with a storage bag. The 240 pieces (times 2) would not fit quickly back into the original boxes. I had to use a plastic bin to store them, other than that... fabulous!
